This series is also supported by the following departments and centers at Ohio State African American & African Studies, History, History of Art, Spanish & Portuguese, Germanic Languages & Literatures, Slavic & Eastern European Languages & Literatures, the Humanities Institute, and the Center for Languages, Literatures, & Cultures.
In December of 2020, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States selected the Department of French and Italian at The Ohio State University to join its prestigious network of Centers of Excellence. OSU’s Center of Excellence has the goal of promoting French and Francophone culture in the Midwest and beyond.
